Shower model

[markwhite351749]

Can any of you guys confirm the shower model just by looking at the taps....? I have attached an image and because of the shower going hot and cold i require a new thermostatic cartridge, however i do not know the model details. I fear i will have to rip out this shower and start afresh!
Thank you!

1. Looks like an Ideal Standard Trevi A3000, pre 1997 model.
2. Make sure you are sitting down when you see the spares prices.
3. Going hot and cold is not necessarily a thermostatic valve fault. Could be something else including:
3a. Partially blocked secondary heat exchanger on a combi boiler.
3b. Partially blocked inlet filter to shower.
3c. Sticking non-return valve in shower or in feed to shower.
4. Have a look at https://www.showers-direct2u.co.uk/trevi-therm-built-in-shower-spare-840665.html

Do you have a combi boiler, does the boiler go on and off when the shower is going hot and cold?

Yes, I do have a combi boiler (very old!) and have had the heat exchanger replaced in the last 2 years. The boiler stays on constantly.
